Lost all my discoveries in the codex

[Kiwi Rob]

after new update i thought i would check out the codex and have a look in the galaxy a new place to travel to to add to my discoveries.
and it looks like i have not been anywhere.
this is not good as i have been exploring for the last 12 months and found so many planets that gave me confirmed finds and now it says i have not found a thing.

tried to post this as a bug but i dont have the privileges " so i hope so one can help with this problem "

It seems i have lost them also but i dont mind. I have all my history in EDDiscovery and in EDSM, all i need.
But im guessing thats just a bug/glitch after the April update and will be fixed.

So you clicked through to all the entries and none were confirmed by you? That always used to be fine.

And you're trying to raise the bugs in the old location. Which tells you where to go in the header....

Just to clarify: was there data that you know was in the Codex before, but isn't in there now? If so, that's a bug. Or is it simply that you went exploring some time ago and were hoping that the Codex would have recorded all your old exploration finds?

First, the Codex does not include anything you discovered before the introduction of the Codex. So if you visited Sag A* back before 3.0 came in, and you were hoping the Codex would have remembered and recorded that you had visited Sag A*, too bad - it doesn't. If you want "Supermassive Black Hole" included in your list of discovered star types in the Galactic Centre Region, you'll have to pay another visit.

Second, the Codex is not a logbook that records every single discovery you've ever made. It only records one of each object class, per galactic region.

Suppose you made an exploration voyage (after the Codex was introduced) to visit Sag A*, Colonia, and then back to the bubble - the basic Tourist Triangle. Suppose you discovered twenty Earth-like worlds on that voyage. The Codex will not record all twenty worlds. Rather, it will record the first one that you discovered in the Inner Orion Spur, the first in the Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm, the first in the Norma Expanse, and so on, for each of the seven Galactic Regions that you pass though while flying the Triangle. So only those seven worlds will appear in your Codex.

In short, the Codex is more a "trainspotter's guide", telling you the different kinds of things which you (and other commanders) have found in each region. It's not a detailed list of everything that has been found.

By codex I assume you mean this page, which does indeed have erroneous counts?

You may not be aware that those are actually menu options - if you click them you can see details in each category which (for me at least) are all tickety-boo.

(And no - I'm not in that sector as I'm on DW2 and so 'quite a long way away')

Same happened to me, but there's a crucial difference: what was lost is the discovery count. The first reported Codex entries are still there, and the "discoveries" - when you've confirmed that yes, specific types of planets et cetera are present in the region - still remain.
So, not much cause for worry.

...and honestly, most of these are as much discoveries as if I travelled to Australia and exclaimed that yep, I've discovered that the reported Australia does in fact exist!

OMG! For a while I was really worried and had to check that my name still can be found by all commanders when they look into the codex. Unless I misunderstand something, my name is still in there many times

yes this is what i am saying also is the "discovery count " is not there any more

yes going into the main part all discoveries will still be there but to find what we have found in the sector, gosh what a pain now.

having that discovery count was great as we could just hover our pointer over the sector and we could see a rough idea how many discoveries we have made.
with out the need to go into each planet discovery and search each item and search each entry to find if we have discovered or not.

discovery count kept it simple and made it so much easier

It's a well reported bug. I've crossed the galaxy without encountering any stars apparently.

I think the system still does record them somewhere however. When I got a first find on a form of organics, I was delighted, as I thought we where long past the point you could find something new. When I them saw it was gone from the codex I flew back to scan it again. It came back, but still showed the original date and time I first found it. Now it is gone again along with everything else.

I would like to see this fixed.

Sadly it seems I never did discover those glowy balls in Odin's Hold. I looked today and it did show them in the Codex, but when I first found them it was clearly not showing previous data. For it showed me as having both reported and confirmed. Today it is up to date and whilst it shows confirmed, also shows they where first found by someone else more than a month before me.

Disappointing, but not surprising.

In my case a month ago I went to synuefe nl-n c23-4 to confirm all the guardian stuff there. Until the April update all the “confirmed” tags quoted the date/time I was there. Now they all say a completely different date & time which is 1169 years earlier! Is this then a bug?
